All this week we have been focused on October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Soon the month will be over and done – just as breast cancer can be diagnosed, treated and cured. Between 2 and 3 million American women living today have survived breast cancer and are thriving. Here is our final tip this week, for them:
Take credit for the challenge you have faced and the changes you are making. Recognize and accept that you have faced many difficulties in your process of healing. Give yourself credit for the hard work you have completed to get to this point in your recovery. You have learned about yourself and made changes in the way you think, feel, act and react to yourself, others and the situation around you.
We celebrate with you! The different pink ribbons we have highlighted this week reflect the unity in diversity of women who are surviving breast cancer – and the men who love them. Today’s pink ribbon is by Gordon Smith and can be found on Carol Sutton’s site, http://www.carolsutton.net/download_pink-ribbon.html.
